BACKGROND

The many US government projects in Italy over the years 2000 they gave me the opportunity to learn about advanced contractual architectures – NAVFAC, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command – con Requiri di Project Management very sophisticated and practically unknown on the Italian market at that time.

To meet these needs, I founded in 2002 it's direct, until the 2012, the società Casinelli Associates – project management consultants, a small consultancy boutique dedicated to project management and who offered services to primary national and international construction companies. We dealt with activities at the time certainly innovative, such as the analysis of delays (SDA, Schedule Delay Analysis) to support the contractual management and the application of EVM methodologies (Earned Value Management).

These experiences also led me to three publications, including “Guidelines to mitigate schedule delay from Owner’s point view. The case of US Navy projects in Italy” su Cost Engineering magazine, February 2005, and that was presented at the annual conference of the Cost Engineering Association (AACE), a New Orleans nel 2007.

Subsequently, My professional experiences have evolved towards the activities of PMC and PMO (Program Management Office) to support the client. I worked on the sistema di project management of Autostrade per l'Italia, on the CityLife project in Milan and on the Quadrilatero infrastructure development programme. In addition to these projects, I have hired assignments for international companies such as Egis Rail and Hill International, respectively on the project of the new Metro of Doha in Qatar and the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Il Cairo.

This allowed me to acquire a profound knowledge of the organizational context and the processes, necessary for manage big projects, and to develop skills on Best Project Management and Project Control practices per mega-projects. Therefore, they are able to take on highly professional assignments and guarantee the realization of complex projects by hitting objectives, respecting the timing, quality and costs.
